箴言12章 忠実を尽くす人を主は喜び迎えられる
those who deal truthfully are His delight
神様の教えや人の助言などは、私達に知恵を与えてくださいます。
そして、忠実を尽くして働く中に、神様が訪れます。そして、そこに神様の働きがあります。人の努力と神様の導きに従うことの違いは、人の努力は、自分から始まったことでありますが、神様の導きは、神様から始まったことです。
表面は同じことのように見えても、大きな違いがあります。自己中心的な歩みは、必ず限界を感じさせますが、自分を無くして、神様に従う時は、限界よりそれを乗り越える神様の力を体験できます。
神を信じる大きな利益は、ここにあります。空しい感じの代わりに、心からの満足があります。
神様の道だけを歩むために、知恵によって神様の道を選び取ることが出来ることを祈ります
